turkey breast

Thank you to all who responded. The turkey breast came out good. I still have to work a bit on the stuffing (a bit to loose). Now I need a recipe for gravy.

Sorry if this is late for Shabbat dinner.
I make turkey breast with a recipe I found online a number of years ago. Here is
the link and the recipe.

PREPARATION:
Take turkey breast out of wrapping and netting, and rinse under cold water; pat
dry. Place turkey breast in slow cooker; add onion, thyme, garlic, salt &
pepper, wine, honey, and mushrooms with soaking liquid. Cover and cook on low
for 8 to 10 hours. During the last 30 minutes pour liquid into a container to
skim excess fat, if desired, and return broth to pot. Stir cornstarch mixture in
and continue cooking until smooth and thickened.
Serves 5 to 6.
============================

My notes:
* I'm always surprised at how much liquid this recipe makes without adding any
extra liquid.
* I use any red wine, even kiddush wine.
* I don't add mushrooms (my husband doesn't like them <sigh!>). Instead, I add
1/4 cup of water with a little bit of onion soup mix.
* I've made it with a sage-spiced stuffing, wrapping the breast around a ball of
stuffing at the beginning and skipping the part about removing the liquid and
mixing with cornstarch. There is less gravy then, but the meat is still juicy.

Enjoy!
